Versions The Dell Remote Access Controllers (DRAC) and the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controllers (iDRAC) come in different versions, where a new (i)DRAC version is often linked to a new generation of Poweredge servers.The hardware part is now often integrated on the motherboard of the server, and the combined product is termed iDRAC, where the 'i' is for integrated.
When iDRAC Express is used, the software and hardware systems management functions are shared with one of the server's on-board network interfaces using a unique IP address. By contrast, iDRAC Enterprise version features a dedicated physical network interface.iDRAC version 7 was introduced in conjunction with the release of servers in March 2012, and is only available on 12th generation models.
